property overview

An ideal starting point to explore Normandy's rich architectural and historic heritage.

Just two hours from Paris in the seaside town of Deauville, the Royal Barrière is open from March to October. Built in 1913, with a sumptuous 1900s architecture, it dominates the coastline with a majestic seafront presence. Located in the center of Deauville, just a stone's throw from major French fashion designer boutiques, the Royal Barrière is also an ideal starting point to explore Normandy's rich architectural and historic heritage like the Landing Beaches or the Mont-Saint-Michel. During the day, guests can also claim a sun lounger by the heated swimming pool or a cabana on the beach, or tour the area on one of the complimentary bicycles.
